Radar signature in Multiple Target Tracking system for Driver Assistant application

This paper presents a new Driver Assistant System (DAS) using radar signatures. The new system is able in one hand to track multiple obstacles and on the other hand to identify obstacles during vehicle movements. The combination of these two functions on the same DAS gives the benefits of avoiding false alarms. Also, it makes possible to generate alarms that take into account the identification of the obstacles. The obstacle tracking process is simplified thanks to the identification stage. Hence, our low cost FPGA-based System-on-Chip is able to detect, recognize and track a large number of obstacles in a relatively reduced time period. Our experimental result proves that a speed up of 32% can be obtained compared to the standard system.
